In-Game Name(s): Howard Ronnie Dong / Judge Carbon Mason Steam Name: TroubledGhost Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Troubledd/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:90789839 Discord Username: rufie. (dont forget the .) Age: 27 When did you first join the server: Winter of 2023 I believe Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3mo 1w 6d 11h 29m Time Zone: GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Currently really active so on most of the day - once employed, time dedication will be determined, and hopeful can contribute few hours-many hours most days, more so on the weekends - god willing. Have you read the rules?: Yes Do you have a working microphone?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No- willing and keen to learn. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 3 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * Mainly because I enjoy this community, the people in it and the server itself and want to do more for the community and server by applying myself and previous staffing experience to further learn and apply on diverge. I wish to become apart of the staff to also help take care of the server, it's rules and the players and believe I can fit into the team as well as being an even more helpful active member of the community knowing most of the people, I want to also be able to assist the team and people in any way shape or form in the role of a staff member and take it to the next level. When i started playing diverge I had about just under 2k hours on gmod.. Now I got 5k hours... I thoroughly enjoy this community, server and the people and want to be able to help, experience a new aspect. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I do bring experience with me, having previously staffed in other servers, other games as well as owning some myself. I have developed a positive rapport with a lot of the other active members of the community and understand the fine lines and boundaries related to the rules. I would call my self a peoples person able to deal with situation respectfully and professionally, particularly conflict resolutions. I am someone who is understanding and can be diplomatic, however assertive when required especially in dealing with problems and tickets, able to put biases aside and mitigate them as best as I can and my foot down regardless if they are friends or not- ensuring to conduct my responsibilities correctly and as how they should be conducted. I can dedicate a lot of time and able to communicate clearly and be responsible. Having played on this server for a long while, meeting old players from before Diverge and current ones, I am able to say I can get along with them and use my skills and past experiences to assist in enforcing the rules whilst keeping a good rapport with the people - which I believe allows me to be more effective when dealing with issues. In addition, I have a good foundational understanding of the rules, knowing what to do, when to do it and how to do it if at all permissible. Being friendly and interacting with many other staff members, I would say I have a good relation with some of those on the team and hope to also build even better relations with others too. From my time playing, I am someone who was banned a lot at the start of my time on diverge, however overtime I've put actual intent and motivation to read the rules and play within them. I able to be a team player and not hesitate to reasonably assist or ask for assistance and take my role seriously as there is a huge amount of responsibility riding on us to fulfil our responsibilities which I understand and aim to adhere to. In addition I do play with malicious intent, so I am approachable and ready to assist. I am someone who is a quick learner, being able to learn from mistakes and get better. I am someone who intends to always do right and be just, knowing when to do/say things and when not to do/say things. Having the experience playing on this server, kept up with its developments overtime and people I wish to take my position in the community to the next level and have an opportunity to do better, be better and do more for the server - growing along side with the server and the active members in the community. I'd hope people can sense my potential and desire to be apart of the team and are keen to give me a chance which i do NOT intend to screw up whatsoever. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Gmod: 1. LuckyDucky Jailbreak Moderator (5 months before it got shut down - 2016), 2.My own DarkRP server as Co-Owner (~4 months before we moved on around 2017), 3. Moderator on another Jailbreak server back in 2014 which i forgot the name of, was moderator for about 3 months before went to college. SCP Secret Laboratory: 1, SCP Lockdown Community Manager/Head Admin ~ 1 year - - 2023/2024. Minecraft: 1. Moderator & Admin old MC server around 2013 around 3 months (Firecraft). 2. Minecraft server owner 2013- Around 2 months (closed it down); 3. CanadiaCraft 2012 - Trial-Mod/Mod before got shutdown; 4. MinecraftTowny 2015 - Admin - 9 months - server closed down. There are many more but i dont remember them :') Now am an idle bee. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I had quite the extensive history mostly related to RDM (most of them were accidental might I add...anywho kidding aside), RDM POs, one for failRP, exploiting (which were promptly raised as bugs to staff), and an old one for powergame and NITRP if i recall correctly. Quite a few of these bans had unbans issued after appealing as some were mistakes or unjust. There were a few times it was warranted and the long breaks showed me I do want to be involved in the server and not muck about. My most recent ban was 2x RDM including RDM in a sit, after someone rage baiting actually managed to make me rage (rare right?) however since returning we blessed it up and moved on. They laughed at me and taunted me for getting a ban and it got to me. Not proud of it. Made it only worse for myself. And I learnt a lesson that day, not to get rage baited.. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I would say I am well known in the community. I am known to be a civilian and judge character main. People are aware that I am able to provide them with assistance related to Legal RP as a lawyer/advisor or other RP that involves getting people out of arrests... cleaning things up... being a middle man in sourcing goods, clothing or products... being a test dummy for their new hired... security services... knowledge about other things related to court, law, rp, server rules etc... providing other goods or services whilst maintaining a good rapport and getting paid. In addition people know me for having good and funny spontaneous RP based on whatever is happening around us, whether it is opening up certain shops for clothing/moonshine... doing construction work... or other unique RP scenarios. As well as assisting in their clothes or build designs, giving input etc. As a casual player who can be serious when required, I believe I can be viewed someone who is dependable related to certain situations, particularly by allies. I built rapport, trust and respect with many people and intend to do so with whomever I may. I tend to avoid places that do very serious RP events to not infringe on the RP going on. Those factions and players I am close with I tend to spend more time around them, however when asked to leave or when serious things are going on (drug trades etc) I most certainly oblige. I would say people are aware I know my boundaries and am respectful.. but they are also aware if prompted will fight back. I can be classed as annoying at times, and it is fair dos as sometimes it happens and people would ban me from places, but we eventually kiss and make up afterwards for it is not in my intention to be a nuisance and people know it's more so "harmless" annoyance. All in all I would hope people find me respectful, fun and an interesting person to be around. A few may view me goofy/silly at times (within reasonable grounds of the on going RP and rules of the server). With those I am close with we may goof around between us however it is within the rules and can be humorous. Essentially good times, good laughs and good events. I will state at the start of my time here I was more so disliked than liked, particularly being labelled as a cop baiting minge. But with time and effort I can happily say thank god that things have changed for the better, and people have given me a chance which I have taken and accepted and hopefully returned the favour. They allowed me into their circles - entrusted me with a lot which normal civilians would certainly not be privy too and that they trust me - for I am not a man who intends to break their word or bond. And I hope other active members of the community could attest to this and give me an opportunity to take on this step and entrust me to deal with their issues, which I intend to do with full seriousness, justice and commitment to the rules and quality standards required. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Among the many this is one of them... https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kjUffIkuAWdKpuO6e?invite=cr-MSxLdm4sMTk2MzAwODIx ,,, i can confirm the ticket was eventually concluded. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Cpt Caboose. Toast. Shards. Dopeasroe. Boosted. Falcon (will update should others recommend too). ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If i am off duty, I will allow on duty staff to collect it. If i notice it wasn't dealt with I shall attempt to communicate with on duty staff and see if they can take it. If they do not handle it or communicate, then I shall switch over and handle the ticket when appropriate in terms of on going RP scenarios. (of course if it serious in that it is an active MRDM situation then i'd switch over immediately and deal with it). You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: I would record, document and gather evidences to provide to UA. If i know them well I would also talk to them to please chillout and that is wrong (if I dont know them too well I would consider briefly communicate to them to also stop - but depends) ensuring this is also all recorded. Abuse shouldn't be occurring. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I would say this could certainly constitute as 'possible' Bias. Unfortunately bias exists in all that we do whether intentionally or unintentionally and regarding the dealing of bias, I believe a more preventative approach can be ideal, for example I would avoid taking such tickets unless absolutely necessary, and will communicate with other staff who are online and request for them to deal with it to mitigate potential bias ensuring to raise potential conflict of interest/bias to ensure the ticket is dealt with appropriate and justly. If it becomes a case where I must deal with the ticket, then I shall - ensuring my actions are just and appropriate regardless if they are close friends or not ensuring to attempt biases do not influence my decisions.

Bro said rdm ain't good enough, he wants to rdm they wallet too

OK OK SO… He has a very bad past but can be serious and unbiased when need be. I think since most don’t have such a pleasant experience with him, he should be given a couple of chances to try and show that he can be a good staff member. Surprisingly, he can role play (i know crazy right) but I mean he is a judge and can AT LEAST contribute to some sort of role play. If anything.. this staff app could be sitting here for a while which could give him some time to show that he can do much more rp than what most people see. +1

When you die nothing happens other than losing equipment that is equipped - when you die I suggest there be a small fee taken from your wallet ranging from $10-$2500 as an example (value TBC of course). Now of course if it was RDM/VDM and you lose money it may hopefully be comped back and would need work around related to other scenarios not taken into account like. Perhaps now that we got a new system where we have additional stat boosted from playing - on the off chance you are dying ''too frequently'', not only do you lose money but a small chance you lose one of the earned additional stats. Gives more of an incentive to not die and make living more ideal in your situation. And good punishment for those who endeavour on dying regularly like its nothing. What do yall think?

Your Name: John *minarai* Smith was the char i was on when this happend SteamID:STEAM_0:0:191992254 Staff Member involved: Adam What was blacklisted from you?: Pet Flags Reason for blacklist (if given): Not doing a proper /me when placing text screens down Why should it be returned?: lowkey, its been alittle bit and i need my flags back so i can spawn dupes on chars that work with famillies and oil companys, thats all i really gotta say, thank you

+1 When I kill you, I want you to lose money too.

Guh

Free curtis (No seriously, he's clawing)

Donald Cohn (He’s a tremendously tremendously good guy- just ask the person next to me he’s gonna tell you how good of a guy he his, even his great of a guy he is, he’s the greatest guy you’ll ever meet.)

-1 this guy is retarded

Name of Character: Darrel Dungels SteamID: 76561198286386048 Your Discord ID#: babyblue6 Date of PK: 10-07-2025 Reason for PK: I got killed and my character is gone, no explaining or anything... Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I dont know why i got killed or what happend i just got killed for no reason... If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: N/A

Actually had to sit and think about this one. Clearly knows the rules but I have never seen him follow them. Funny guy but I’ve never had a legitimate RP with him. Can be very fair even when he does wrong but is still a high key troll and low level manipulator. Please. For the love of God. Absolutely not. -1

Can be serious when he needs to be. I don't think his style of RP should account for his abilities to be a staff member. +1

Radio recode is on the todo list, will add this to it.

Bobo Salamon

One, Diverge merch when? Two, surely you could think of something more creative.

meant to say shirt

rate my setup (im a true gamer btw)

or maybe a badass tattoo system where its like the check minigame. If u fuck up the tattoo it would say like "Has a sloppy tattoo of a snake" now THAT would be badass...

I mean i thought about having a description lock in the past where at least certain parts of your description like height, weight, eye colour and hair colour can't be changed at all, but I imagine it's not the most popular change. A cooldown is an interesting suggestion, but I feel like the change doesn't matter Commit mugging -> change description -> but now i'm on a 30 minute cooldown with a new description, still can't be identified. OR you have it change but it takes ~15 minutes to apply the change? (a bit too weird imo) Maybe something to address in the future.

Obviously Curtis, who got assassinated by the CIA.. Joey and Princess the clowns... and hm.... Bingo the clown too....

Small quality of life improvement: Change the liquid meth icon and world prop to the blue barrel to avoid it getting mistaken w/ oil barrels.

Your Character or Steam Name: Rizo Your SteamID: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198367369589/ Your Discord ID#: .rizo Reason for ban: Metagame Length of ban: Perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? This is about 3 months ago now. After I got banned a week before I graduated high school and my whole life changed. I didn't have my favorite video game to play and I was going through the actual biggest changes of my life, going from childhood to adulthood. I got a job working on roofs, quit the za so i could pass my drug tests for the job:) This whole time these past three months I've been missing diverge. I didn't realize it when I was playing but playing diverge was an escape for me and a fun way to end my days. My friends that still religiously play this game are slowly drifting away from me because im permad. No other games hit the same anymore and I really hope i can play this game a little more before im to old for videogames< 3 All I'm asking for is a chance to play with my friends again on diverge without paying an obscene amount of money. Love rizo< 3 Additional Information (images, videos, etc): n/A gangsta

+1 Helped me mug 3 cops

Let’s make your character need surgery every 3 months or so, and it costs you 700k to keep your character alive

ehhh nayyyy It ultimately doesnt really benefit anyone and just creates smaller nuisances to already annoying RDMs and what if the person had 0$ on them to begin with? or just kept it all in their bank i guess it would encourage long term players to not cause issues and get killed but even still if someone doesnt value their life i dont think theyre gonna value it regardless over 2.5k or whatever the amount is set etc as for skills thatd just be so annoying the times ive loaded in and been dying of hunger or general afk and coming back to see im now in the hospital this add would be unnecessary

+1 ok

In-Game Name(s): John Smith, Senior Officer Carl J. Connors Steam Name: Veraxify Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199071944328/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:555839300 Discord Username: x2x5 (Recently got banned from discord so its a little new) Age: 15 When did you first join the server: Around 3~ Years ago. Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2w 5d 17h Time Zone: PST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 10-20 Hours per week, I have plenty of free time at the moment so possibly even more. Have you read the rules?: Of course Do you have a working microphone?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Absolutely Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No experience with either unfortunately but I can certainly learn. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 3 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I have been playing 1980's Mafia Roleplay for many years and I absolutely love it. By far my favorite server on Garry's Mod. The community is unmatched compared to any other roleplay server. But as I have recently returned to it after many new updates I have noticed an increase of lots of newer players as well as "Minges" or "Cheaters" and I would love to do my part to keep the community strong and upstanding. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I try my absolute best to stay on good terms with other players, faction members, and the community as a whole. But at the same time I believe that the other candidates deserve a chance as well but I am just speaking on my behalf explaining my lenience and professionalism with the community over the past few years. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do have staffing experience on other games & roleplay servers for other platforms but zero experience on any Garry's Mod server as staff. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have never been banned on any Diverge server or platform. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * Its not my job to speak for others but in my personal opinion I believe I have a pretty well standing in the community. Especially the NYPD, I am always very active and friendly with people and even help out newer players or also known as "White shirts" get started in the server and show them how to get employment in many different ways. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Sometime in 2023 there was a fishing event where a captain of a ship was hiring people to help him hunt down a megalodon in the ocean. Everyone was able to use heavy weapons and it was extremely awesome. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: Varies on the situation in my opinion. If I am busy and in a roleplay scenario with another player and I just suddenly get killed. I would definitely make a ticket to have a staff member deal with the situation. Just because I would also be a staff member doesn't mean I should just be able to switch characters and abuse power and instantly escalate the situation. There's multiple staff members for a reason. But another scenario would be if I were to be RDM'd and it was late at night with zero staff members on duty. Then I think it is appropriate to take the matter into my own hands as there is nobody else that could realistically do anything at the moment in time. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: I would definitely take note and possibly even record the situation. If the power abuse isn't anything too insane I might lay off reporting it for the time being. but if it continues or gets worse I will most certainly report it to a higher management along with any evidence I have. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: Even if its hard having to take action against a close friend or member Its still unacceptable to be RDM'ing and Minging in a server like this. This is not DarkRP and in my opinion its unacceptable no matter what relationship you have with the person. The only time I would see bias being even a little acceptable is if it was an accusation like using a loud voice changer or or something simple like such where it would only require a warning. but RDM shouldn't have any room for bias.

+1 I've known him for awhile and he would make a good staff member

+1 A knowledgeable and fair player with a tame bias. Extremely active.

What is with these posts today lmao

Jon Rake Pink Taxi Co. Otherwise the best serious character I ever met was Vinnie Lucchese.

-1 This dude is retarded as fuck

I do not think it's time yet for you due to some incidents happening like notes in the psst which you clearly ignored if staff tried to correct your behaviour. (For example you threw a whole tantrum just because you kept playing as "Rizano" lastname whenever we changed it) You'd be saying ight and straight up give the middle finger to us. Anyhow best of luck

Name: Reggie Holmes Steam ID: 76561199006324846 Discord ID:422900421280006156 Date Of Pk: 11/July/1989 Reason For Pk: No Clue I Joined the Faction As they called it. The beginning of the Hiring, They Said Something About someone being a minge which I'm not sure what that means as I was fully Engaged in Roleplay, After I was Officially Hired I Procced to Do what I know which is oil they said stuff about drugs and stuff to which I didn't mind or bat any eye to and they also mentioned not talking to cops which I haven't I proceeded to keep buy oil and doing my best to drive around and be a legal citizen not doing anything illegal I never spoke and I never disrespected anyone so I'm not real sure because there was no RP to my death I was buying oil next thing you know I'm dead. Why should You be UnPK'D? What Server Rule or Pk Rule Was Violated?: Well for One From the very Beginning the guy that was hiring me was talking ooc Which I have multiple clips of it kept ruining my immersion I'm pretty sure they were Meta Gaming in Discord Chat Because like I mentioned he said something about someone being a minge and he was the only one in the room and he wasn't on radio I haven't Minged at all That I'm Aware Of I literally Joined And just bought oil which is legal to buy . it states this in the guidelines It is HIGHLY recommended that during conflicts, PKs, or situations leading to PKs you are recording almost 24/7 as all PKs require PROOF. Your character can be PK'ed / banned by staff at their discretion if you break server rules, such as but not limited to; fail corruption / Minging as a Police Officer, metagame/powergame, item transfer/character abuse, etc. which again I don't think I did anything like this and if it was a hit. You must ensure the hit you are performing is valid.The admin Xduckcat Said it was for Bringing Heat to the family Causing conflicts with allies and minging as of July 11 1989 I didn't not ming I did not bring heat which means talking to cops or anything to do with cops id like to see video evidence of everything there accusing me of in character evidence atm camera whatever in character evidence they have From July 11 Of me doing any of that it states this in the rules ■ Bringing 'Heat' to the faction As a result of their reckless action or arrests they bring attention or heat to the group and are therefore too much of a risk to keep around. Things that constitute bringing heat: Caused an investigation Caused a search/seizure/warrant to be issued and executed Caused a fellow faction member(s) to be implicated or arrested Provided information or testimony which harmed the faction (Snitching) Being constantly arrested on or around faction property/members; drawing attention from erratic behaviour [You may be asked to provide proof] Things that DO NOT constitute bringing heat: Having a Felony on their record Being arrested or detained for a minor crime Being arrested or detained for a crime not related to the faction Simply interacting with police I haven't brought heat stole or anything so i would love to see the IC Evidence If Possible, Please Provide Video Evidence or Photo Evidence If Pk Doesn't Follow Guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kFFkVjaqZ_AGR8sql?invite=cr-MSxFRGksMTU3OTMwNDA0 Thats what the admin said. Here is a clip of him saying ming or whatever and not to do it and I haven't https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kFDvwQiJIbC2G_7Hd?invite=cr-MSx2cXAsMTU3OTMwNDA0
